Former Emmerdale actor Mike Parr has left fans astonished after sharing a selfie showcasing his transformed appearance. The 35-year-old, best known for playing Ross Barton on the ITV soap, posted the image on social media, drawing comparisons to boxer Paul Sykes.
Fellow former Emmerdale star Natalie Anderson, who played Alicia, likened Parr's new look to Magnum PI actor Tom Selleck, a sentiment echoed by several other social media users. Fans reacted with shock, with one commenting 'good lord' and another stating 'It suits you!'.
Parr's character Ross was involved in major storylines, notably a showdown with brother Pete (Anthony Quinlan) that left viewers believing Ross had died. Parr's departure from the show initially sparked outcry, but a later twist revealed Ross was alive. His final appearance aired in November 2018.
Since leaving Emmerdale, Parr has appeared in an episode of Bulletproof and the film Our Home. His recent transformation has reignited interest in his career and potential return to the soap.
